DUECES

What do you do when your life doesn't go how you planned it to go? Better yet...

What do you do when God's plan/will for you leaves you confused?

 ..when he didn't do what you thought he was going to do..when you thought he would do it..

I'll tell you what most college students / young adults do... They Worry!

Matthew 6:25-34

²⁵"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? ²⁶Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

Here, God is telling is us that he takes care of the things that walk the earth.(Example: animals, plants,etc)

In this case, he mentions the birds. If he takes care of them, won't he that much take care of us in any situation that we're in? He continues on by saying,

 ³¹So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' ³²For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

In other words, God is telling us not to be occuppied with being worried or to question how things will work out. In verse 32, he mentions that that is how pagans/ the world thinks. But he tells us after that we should seek him first and all the things that we've been asking for and seeking after will be given to us!

In other words, you don't have to chase after the things that you desire.

(like a career, material things, money, a boyfriend/girlfriend, etc)

When you seek God first and trust in him, all those things will come your way and begin to chase after you!!! 

Ok so.. How Do I know if I'm worrying?

Well worrying is simply this.

Worry- when you keep thinking the same thought over and over again without taking action to it!

- Take Action! Do something about your current situation.

Pray about it, Give it to God, and then Let it Go!

I say this because once you can do this you can have the opposite of worry: And that's "Peace"

When you don't let go of a situation and continue to worry, you will never have peace.

That's why when people seek things and put their life into things, they become half-way depressed /upset for weeks and months when they lose it. (ex: break of bf/gf, lose of stuff or desires, etc.)

People seem to loose their minds when they lose things like this. It's all because they don't seek God first and place their peace in their stuff or desires.

What are you holding on to thats keeping you from saying "Deuces" to worry.
